Romney pushes for Fiorina to be on Saturday debate stage

Mitt Romney has joined the chorus of politicians calling for Carly Fiorina to be added to Saturday’s GOP debate stage.

“Hey @ABC: put @CarlyFiorina on the debate stage! She got more Iowa votes than John and Chris. Don't exclude only woman,” Romney tweeted on Thursday.

Romney, who was the 2012 GOP nominee and flirted with a 2016 run before ultimately deciding against it, has not yet endorsed a candidate.

He wasn’t the only one in Fiorina’s corner.

“.@abcnews should put @CarlyFiorina in the new hampshire debate.she came in ahead of kasich and christie. She has earned a spot,” former House speaker Newt Gingrich tweeted.

And New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte also chimed in: "Carly Fiorina has campaigned hard in New Hampshire to earn support from voters," Ayotte said in a statement. "ABC News' decision to exclude her from Saturday's debate on the eve of our primary, while she is outperforming one of the other debate participants in New Hampshire polls, undermines our role in the primary process, and I urge ABC to allow Ms. Fiorina to participate."
